Thanks very much, @warworksdk – although to answer your question I don’t know if anyone’s really going to hit the historical as hard as we used to. @avernos is certainly qualified in some eras (Rorke’s Drift, for one), and of course you’ll always have @johnlyons and tanks.

But on a broader historical view, I just don’t know how much of a thing that’s ever really been here, or will be in the future. It’s always been one of those things people talk about supporting, but not many people really do. I’m guilty as well, focusing more on a post 1945 angle with the the Sitrep.

I’ll say this much, the Projects feature has plenty of great historical projects, where people are doing some great stuff. I have the feeling it’s going to be up to the community now, but maybe that’s not a bad thing?

@jjgrubb – Thanks very much for your very kind words, and kudos for your interest in the Pacific. 😀 That’s definitely a theater that needs a lot more attention.

@collins – your intelligence is not wrong, sir, there totally is a crack team which has grabbed me “SEAL Team Six” style to keep me around – it is called the Sitrep. Seriously, give it a listen either on OTT, Facebook, Podbean, or Youtube, drop a comment somewhere to encourage these platforms to support our ongoing content!

The longer the Sitrep is around and the better supported it is, the longer I’ll be around. 😀 😀 😀
